Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Add-Ins

  • ½ cup dried cherries, chopped
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chunks

Instructions

  1. Melt Chocolate: In a saucepan, combine white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the white chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Add Flavorings: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt evenly into the melted chocolate mixture to enhance the flavor profile.
  3. Mix in Add-Ins: Fold in the chopped dried cherries and dark chocolate chunks gently, ensuring the add-ins are distributed throughout the fudge mixture evenly.
  4. Set the Fudge: Pour the chocolate mixture into a lined 8×8-inch pan. Use a spatula to smooth the surface evenly for a neat finish.
  5. Chill and Serve: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is firm. Once set, cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • Use good-quality white and dark chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
  • Ensure the heat is low to prevent white chocolate from burning while melting.
  • Line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal of fudge squares.
  • Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
  • Chopped dried cherries add a chewy texture and a tart balance to the rich sweetness.
